You're going to laugh and sneer, but I just remembered how much my father, who died in 1983, loved the Bar'. He would sing "This One's For You" full voice along with the car radio and my siblings and I knew that he was singing for his mother, who died when he was in his early 20's off fighting the stupid Korean War. He would get all teary-eyed and we'd get lumps in our throats.So in honor of m...

First it was CBGB's, then Glam Slam and now the Copacabana. They say deaths happen in three's, so this is just another one into the body bag. The historic Copacabana club in New York is closing it doors. Not because of financial problems, but because the building was condemed to make room for another subway line. The club is where Frank Sinatra got his start in the 40's and was thrust into the ...

This one happened fifteen or more years ago - more like twenty, come to think.Anyway, guy was coming down Monteagle Mountain on I-24 between Nashville and Chattanooga (heading toward Chattanooga, which is the worse grade and curves).You may have heard of Monteagle - Cash recorded a song about it, and Jerry Reed mentions it in the theme song for Smokey and the Bandit; several miles of 7% grades ...

I woke up this morning with a severe hangover. I opened a bottle of wine at lunch yesterday and then felt obligated to finish it. It was a French Beaujolais after all.Later, I met a friend for dinner and drinks, bien sur, before hooking up with friends at a bar.
